September 6, 2023 - I‘ve had this ’86 a few times over the past 20 years and this was the best bottle yet. Classic La Tâche with its intensely spicy nose. It is complex and engaging, with notes of Hoisin, soy, decaying rose and earth. The palate is beautifully balanced and proportioned and silky and whilst it is a lighter version of La Tâche, it still has fabulous presence and latent power. Spicy notes linger.

October 26, 2021 - La Tâche Vertical (Le Pavillon): Surprisingly beautiful nose. Fresh, pure, clean. Nice surprise, outperforming the ’88 materially. Palate is trending more secondary but still has nice red fruit with some fall spice. Maybe a value here? 93 - 94.

11/1/2005 (link)(Romanée-Conti La Tâche) Medium mahogany in colour. The nose is little vegetal and mildewy to start, slowly mature red fruit emerges plus a little pine-needle and earth, unfortunately just a wisp of TCA too. It's not apparent on the palate, though there must be some diminution of the experience. Despite this there is a nice soft entry and a concentration that builds to a crescendo on the palate. In this company still a little subdued, certainly mildly corked.
